Drove it to work today, and you're right, not as much as I would expect from a traditional oil cooler. Without the dust cover, looks like it'll be a solid 15 degrees, maybe 20. Normal drive to work temps will go to 220. Today they stayed at 195. Looked like they went up 5 degrees to 200 at the end of the commute. Didn't pop the heat sink loose off the mold release before the drive so maybe it came loose from the thermal cycle. Hope so, it felt like it was on there pretty good last night.
